Tuesday, November 11, 2003 My parents & I invited some of our extended family over to my place for Thanksgiving. Last year, I did the same thing, only Cookie was there. This year, all I will have is an empty food and water bowl that indicates Cookie ever lived here. All of her stuff is still out, I don't ever want to put it away. I know for sure that I will never be ready to do that. Maybe it will look odd to my family to see Cookie's stuff out seeing as by then, she will have been gone for over a month. I don't want to take the blanket away that sits near the window where she used to sunbathe while I was at work. Honestly though, I'm also afraid to leave it there, because what if someone drops something on it and I have to wash it? I don't want to. I don't want to do anything that acknowledges her being gone. It's hard enough having to face it in private at my apartment everyday, but knowing that her stuff is still around is what keeps me sane. It reminds me that she lived here with me and that I can always count on that fact and those memories. I can't change anything...maybe I'm a nutjob, but that's what I have to do for me. posted by lisa | linkorama | |
